Earth’s Kundalini Shift and the Shift in Human Spiritual Searching

This isn’t an essay, just a thought.

The Earth’s Kundalini projects outward from the middle of the planet to a specific point, where it stays for approximately 13,000 years. And essentially, the point where Earth’s Kundalini emerges wears the spiritual crown for the planet for duration of that phase. For the last 13,000 years, that crown has been in the Himalayas. Images of bearded yogis on mountaintops doling out wisdom to the spiritually starved is almost cliché, but for good reason. Siddhartha was born in Nepal/India; found enlightenment, preached, and died, all at the feet of the Himalayas. Jesus is said to have travelled to India during his thirty years of Biblical radio silence. The Beatles famously went to India during the Industrialized West’s spiritual puberty of the 1960s. The global uptake of spiritual-conceptual vocabulary is all from this region. The list goes on. (Recommended reading: Masters of the Far East.)

But in 2012, the Earth’s Kundalini shifted from the Himalayas to the Andes mountains of Chile and Peru. Like repositioning a welding torch on an iron plate, the glow of molten metal is never instantaneous, but I have noticed a recent uptick in Amazonian shamanism, specifically the Industrialized West’s recent fascination with ayuhuasca.

The planet is rising into a higher dimension, and (I hope) the rest of us along with it. Growth and transformation seem to be coming at faster and faster cycles. It’s my thinking that the previous 13,000-year Kundalini phase in the Himalayas was a period of arduous, lifelong, very third-dimensional self-discovery. Personal epiphanies rooted in patience and asceticism. Time is moving faster now. If the Himalayas were the Socratic method of spiritual awakening, the Andes now seem to be baptism by fire. Ayuhuasca seems to be gaining popularity because, for starters, it brings Ego-death. Your opinions, your dogmas, your beliefs are all irrelevant. It’s a refocusing of the true self.

Speaking from his own personal experience, Dr. Gabor Maté says:

“Ayuhuasca shows you very clearly the psychological baggage you’ve been carrying your entire life. And you see it as baggage; you no longer see it as an inevitable and inextricable part of yourself. And if you see it as baggage, then you can put it down. […] And all of the interpretations that you’ve made of the world because of early experience can drop away and you can just be in the present. […] The other thing ayuhuasca does is it shows you your full potential as a loving, connected human being.”

In Himalayan-paradigm terms, it is the almost instantaneous exiting from karma and emergence into dharma, only with complete integration—spiritually—of the how and why. Not a cheat, just a direct route.

I’m a big believer in the Hundredth Monkey theory, where after a certain number of individuals integrate something into their consciousness (10%, they say), it crosses a collective threshold and becomes intuitively known by the entire group. It’s not that everyone needs to travel to the Amazon or try ayuhuasca, it’s that (I suspect) it’s linked to hitting the 10% mark for humanity where we no longer have to.

And I feel that Earth shifting its Kundalini to focus its spiritual intent on this part of the world—this paradigm—underscores how this is the new standard. Moving away from ritual, discipline, and asceticism; and instead bringing the new focus for human spiritual growth to Earth-centrism, plant-teachers, and symbiosism. In a sense, the start of a fourth or fifth-dimensional paganism. (Recommended viewing: Embrace of the Serpent)

If Earth’s Kundalini clock reset around 2012 and already the Industrialized West has integrated so much of Amazonian shamanic and ayuhuascan paradigms into our collective thinking, it gives me hope that the next 13,000 years will be a period of hyper-exponential growth.

And it’s only just getting started.
